This heartwarming Christmas tale tells the story of an unemployed widow named Susan, who is trying to make ends meet and take care of her three very shy sons and a loveable mutt named Rusty. Meanwhile, single dad Jake has his hands full with two tomboys and a fussy poodle named Cheri. The two families don't have too much in common - until their dogs fall in love, and need to get their owners to fall in love too, so they can be together.
